I used Shawns excellent Microsoft template to create this and it worked nicely but for some reason now every other day Ketarin keeps downloading wrong DirectX package.For example yesterday it tried to download a 2007 version.The other day it tried to download a 2009 version and so on.

 

Im thinking that the search matches the wrong version and then proceeds to download it.

 

EDIT: Confirmed.Both Google and MS find the wrong version and Ketarin proceeds to download.

 

I use the standard Google search posted on the template topic:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=&cat=&meta=&num=100&ie=utf-8&q=site%3Amicrosoft.com%2Fdownloads+%22{mssearch}%22#q=site:microsoft.com/downloads+%22{mssearch}%22&hl=en&tbo=1&tbs=qdr:y,sbd:1&prmd=ivfd&source=lnt&sa=X

 

Where {mssearch} is

directx redist

 

Here's the template:

Note that it is currently working because i added a dirty fix to namely search for the latest package.Meaning {mssearch} is:

directx redist june

 

But i would still like to get the original way to work.Also i have stopped sharing this to database(old copy remains) until this problem is fixed.

Thanks i replaced google with ms search for now:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/results.aspx?freetext=%22{mssearch}%22&displaylang=en&stype=ss_rr&nr=10&sortCriteria=Date&sortOrder=Descending

Let's see how long this works tho because the ms search is prone to go nuts now and then.

I didn't look too deeply into this as I never had a problem, however the string provided by the template already includes quotation marks. I remember only having one problem and just added my own without checking if they were included, but i've still been fine to this day except for just right now. But as soon as I update just after the botched attempt it finds the original file fine, google/ms search regardless the results are the same. I believe is a problem with the MS download site more than the search.
